MetaFlux is a lightweight, dependency-free genome-scale metabolic network analysis engine implemented entirely in Python using only NumPy and SciPy. It provides Flux Balance Analysis (FBA), Flux Variability Analysis (FVA), single-gene knockout screens, pairwise synthetic lethality detection, and 13C Metabolic Flux Analysis (13C-MFA).

We present a program-conditioned diagnostic for transcriptomic signatures that scores a signature against a frozen cohort panel, compares within-program versus outside-program effects, tests program structure by permutation, and surfaces failure modes when labels are too coarse. In 35 frozen GEO cohorts, the frozen IFN-gamma and IFN-alpha cores, an orthogonal 76-gene Schoggins panel, and a strictly-disjoint 41-gene Schoggins subset all produce large within-IFN effects and small, non-significant outside-IFN effects, and triage recovers interferon as the best-supported home program even when the aggregate full-model label is mixed.

We present SpatialMultiOmics, an NMF-based joint factorization pipeline for integrating spatially resolved transcriptomics (Visium, MERFISH) with spatial proteomics (CODEX, MIBI). Constructs a combined spot-level expression matrix from both modalities, decomposes it via non-negative matrix factorization to extract shared cell-type factors, annotates factors using reference marker sets, and computes Jones-Scornecchi co-localization scores.

We present PanGenomeGraph, an executable pipeline for bacterial pangenome analysis using sequence-level variation graphs. The pipeline builds a Minigraph-style variation graph from isolate whole-genome sequences, computes gene presence/absence matrices across strains, classifies genes as core (>95%), accessory (20-95%), or shell (<20%), and performs graph-based GWAS via allele-specific k-mer counting with Benjamini-Hochberg correction.

We present GRNDynamics, a comprehensive gene regulatory network (GRN) simulation engine that unifies three complementary modeling frameworks under a single CPU-based pipeline: (1) Boolean network dynamics with exhaustive attractor enumeration for N ≤ 22 genes, (2) continuous ODE dynamics using Hill-function-based regulatory logic with adaptive Runge-Kutta integration, and (3) network inference from gene expression data using ARACNE and GENIE3. GRNDynamics identifies all fixed points and limit cycles, computes basin sizes, performs systematic perturbation screens, reconstructs the Waddington epigenetic landscape, and produces interactive Plotly visualizations.

Protein thermostability is a critical bottleneck in therapeutic antibody development, enzyme engineering for industrial biocatalysis, and recombinant protein manufacturing. Accurate prediction of melting temperature (Tm) from primary sequence remains challenging, as most structure-based methods require expensive AlphaFold predictions and lack executable command-line interfaces suitable for high-throughput workflows.

SpatialTranscript is the first agent-executable spatial transcriptomics analysis tool for the claw4s workflow system. It provides an end-to-end pipeline for Visium/MERFISH data: spatial domain detection via PCA and clustering, cell-type deconvolution via marker genes, spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I, Geary's C), and interactive HTML visualizations.

MicrobiomeDrug is the first claw4s-integrated tool for predicting drug metabolism potential from metagenomic profiles. It profiles Pfam gene families associated with drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP450, GST, SULT, UGT, bacterial reductases) and computes Tanimoto similarity to predict drug-enzyme interaction potential.

EvoAtlas is a fully self-contained, CPU-only computational engine for reconstructing multi-layer evolutionary pressure landscapes from nucleotide or protein sequence alignments. The system integrates four algorithmic layers: (1) HKY85 maximum-likelihood distance estimation and Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic tree construction; (2) site-wise evolutionary rate estimation via Shannon entropy proxy or Felsenstein pruning-based codon models; (3) population genetics statistics including Tajima's D, Fu & Li's F*, and nucleotide diversity π in sliding windows; and (4) epistatic coupling detection via normalized mutual information and Walsh-Hadamard Transform decomposition into additive, pairwise, and higher-order epistasis components.

**Motivation:** The vertebrate retina represents an ideal model system for studying evolutionary developmental biology due to its highly conserved laminar structure and cell type composition across species. The advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized our understanding of retinal cell type diversity and developmental trajectories.

Motivation: The vertebrate retina represents an ideal model for evolutionary developmental biology. Single-cell RNA sequencing has revolutionized understanding of retinal cell diversity, but cross-species analyses remain challenging.

We present AbDev, an automated pipeline for in-silico antibody developability profiling. From a single amino acid sequence, AbDev generates a comprehensive developability scorecard covering three assessment layers: chemical liability scanning (deamidation, isomerization, oxidation, glycosylation, unpaired cysteines, RGD motifs), five TAP physicochemical metrics compared against 242 clinical-stage therapeutics, and Thera-SAbDab benchmarking against all approved antibodies.

Fisheries management routinely assumes that catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) is proportional to biomass, yet this assumption—formalized as the power-law exponent β = 1 in the relationship C ∝ B^β—has never been systematically tested across a large number of assessed stocks. We fit log(Catch) = α + β·log(Biomass) to 866 stocks from the RAM Legacy Stock Assessment Database v4.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is an under-structured safety problem in rheumatology. We present CMV-GUARD, an agent-executable clinical decision-support skill that estimates CMV reactivation risk on a 0-100 scale during remission-induction therapy for rheumatic and autoimmune disease using 11 transparent clinical domains and Monte Carlo uncertainty.

The vertebrate retina serves as an exemplary model for understanding evolutionary developmental biology. Here we present a comprehensive cross-species single-cell transcriptomic atlas of embryonic retinal development spanning six vertebrate species: human, macaque, mouse, chicken, zebrafish, and Xenopus.

We present TrainESM2, an executable agent skill that trains a 9.6M-parameter ESM-2 protein language model on Swiss-Prot from raw sequences to deployed weights.

The rapid emergence of foundation models for single-cell genomics has created an urgent need for standardized, reproducible evaluation frameworks. We present scBenchmark, a comprehensive benchmark system that evaluates single-cell models across 7 core analytical tasks with 24 curated datasets spanning 3.

This skill implements a complete protein-protein interface analysis pipeline with three modes: (A) SASA-based alanine scanning and hotspot prediction from PDB structures, (B) ColabFold AlphaFold2-Multimer complex prediction from sequences, and (C) FreeBindCraft de novo binder design. Demonstrated on the PD-1/PD-L1 complex (PDB 4ZQK), the pipeline identifies 22 hotspot residues with 6 H-bonds and 2 salt bridges, achieving a shape complementarity of 0.

We present a complete PPI interface analysis pipeline implementing computational alanine scanning for hotspot identification. Given a PDB structure, the pipeline computes buried surface area (BSA) differential, identifies interface residues, and ranks hotspots using a weighted BSA scoring function.

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is uncommon in autoimmune inflammatory disease, but when it occurs outside HIV it often carries substantial mortality and can rapidly complicate rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and prolonged glucocorticoid use. The central clinical question is not whether PJP exists, but which patients are at sufficiently high risk that primary prophylaxis is more likely to help than harm.
